Benny was one of the guys working as a security guard our hotel and for whatever reason, we quickly became friends with him.
Since he had a day off, we asked him if he'd like to go on a day trip with us and our new friend from Germany, Stefanie Fischer (Steffi).
He gladly accepted and guided me towards a local hot spot (though completely non-touristy), Nantandola Beach. We brought along a bunch of picnic-like food, did some snorkeling, and otherwise just hung out with one of the locals.
We felt slightly bad after the trip as it was evident that he was really hoping to get money out of us, but we weren't about to give him any. We had hoped that he genuinely just wanted to hang out with us, and while he probably did, he definitely was hoping to profit from it too.
